Nicolas W, Gillman C, Weaver S, Clabbers M, Shiriaeva A, Her A, et al.
Nat Protoc . 2024 Dec; PMID: 39706914
Microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) has advanced structural methods across a range of sample types, from small molecules to proteins. This cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) technique involves the continuous rotation of...

Gillman C, Nicolas W, Martynowycz M, Gonen T
IUCrJ . 2023 May; 10(Pt 4):430-436. PMID: 37223996
In this work, a novel crystal growth method termed suspended drop crystallization has been developed. Unlike traditional methods, this technique involves mixing protein and precipitant directly on an electron microscopy...

Nicolas W, Jensen G, Meyerowitz E
Bio Protoc . 2022 Dec; 12(23). PMID: 36561119
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is a formidable technique to observe the inner workings of vitrified cells at a nanometric resolution in near-native conditions and in three-dimensions. One consequent drawback of this...

Nicolas W, Fassler F, Dutka P, Schur F, Jensen G, Meyerowitz E
Curr Biol . 2022 May; 32(11):2375-2389.e6. PMID: 35508170
One hallmark of plant cells is their cell wall. They protect cells against the environment and high turgor and mediate morphogenesis through the dynamics of their mechanical and chemical properties....
